Joy Ann Reid: The NRA Are the Ones in the Black Helicopters

When I worked at CNN, Edward R. Murrow was long dead. But the ethos forged by the CBS broadcaster’s legacy was alive and well. No self-professed TV journalist would dare not [at least pretend to] be objective. Every “news package” contained a balance of views—no matter how token the opposition. MSNBC couldn’t be any further from this “fairness” philosophy if it was a kangaroo court. Which it is, in a way. In the video above, Joy Ann Reid makes a comment about the “Neo-Confederate thread that runs through the pro-gun movement and the NRA.” That pissed off a lot of people. But host Alex Wagner’s throwaway line about the NRA being the real guys in the black helicopters is the bad craziness here. Up is down, good is bad and the people defending against tyranny are the tyrants. Even in his worst cocaine-fueled frenzies Ted Turner knew the difference between news and opinion. The spawn of NBC blurs the line (so to speak) without even trying to draw it. How the mighty have fallen . . .

Miscrosoft was, as I understand it, in on the inception of the MSBNC “news” station, but at some point a few years ago washed their corporate hands of any participation with this joke of a news organization. A google search might pull up more details.

Funny thing is NRA had nothing to do with it ,it was grass roots Coloradans.BUT OF COURSE.as we know checking facts is not the liberal way of doing things, and OF COURSE ‘COMMON SENSE ‘says we must ignore our constituents voices and do what we the politicians’PERSONALLY ‘ know what’s right as we PEE all over the 2nd amendment.Gee ,why are people so upset,is it because we IGNOR THEM and do whatever we want?HMMMMM?

Funny – I don’t remember MSNBC being so outraged at the Wisconsin recall election! Or the complaints that recall elections weren’t supposed to be about ‘policy disagreements’, or bemoaning the cost of such a recall effort! Here’s hoping this effort sends a strong & lasting message that our constitutional rights do indeed still matter, at least in Colorado.

The MSM is nothing more than a big ol’ Democrat circle jerk. Nevertheless, I hope that the MSM’s sellout continues apace. It’s killing them, and frankly, I want them dead — ratings-wise, that is. The more they sell out, the less people watch.

msNBC recently had a full program in which they pushed the idea that the Boston bombers did what they did because their minds were twisted by right-wing ideas. Even knowing what msNBC is, I sat there with my mouth hanging open. I used to watch them to get in touch with what leftists were telling their flocks of useful idiots, but msNBC has genuinely drifted all the way off into the realm of tabloid stuff.

Soon: All conservatives are under the control of evil reptiloid aliens from a parallel dimension.

Not tuning in anymore. I’ll leave them to their few remaining viewers.

“but msNBC has genuinely drifted all the way off into the realm of tabloid stuff. ”

Unfortunately in the age of 500+ channel cable packages there seems to be no limit to how low and stupid your programing is. With the university system indoctrinating millions of new leftists every year there is a steady flow of idiots to watch their programming and get some commercial sponsors. Sure, these young idiots may finally awaken to the realities of life over the ensuing years (job, obligations, kids have a tendency to cause that) and tune off MSNBC, but there is a never ending stream of new graduating idiots and low-info couch-potato moochers to sustain their channel.

The real damage occurs with the older people. My dad started watching MSNBC a decade ago and now he is a full-on moron. My traditional liberal Cali sister even shakes hre head in how he turned into a angry, hateful, marxist. We all love him, but politics is a no-go area during visits.
